Mississippi Queen,
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen,
She taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg,
Around Louisiana way
Lived a cajun lady,
Aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine …

While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks,
Boy I beg your pardon, I was getting mine

Mississippi Queen,
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen,
She taught me everything
This lady she asked me,
If I would be her man
You know that I told her,
I'd do what I can
To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon, I was losing mine!

You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine …

While the rest of them dudes were making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon, I was losing mine !
